Thank you very much. That is all from Edinburgh. There | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
First Minister Carwyn Jones has announced a surprise reshuffle | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
He said his government was now ready to focus on the tough choices Wales | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
needs to create world-class public services and to build on the recent | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
So who is in and who is out of the Cabinet? | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
Former Education Minister Leighton Andrews returns as Minister | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
for Public Services, 15 months after he resigned. | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
But John Griffiths loses his post as Minister for Natural Resources, | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
And Jeff Cuthbert is also leaving the government. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
His portfolio goes to Lesley Griffiths. | :00:39. | :01:02. | |
Glued to his smartphone this afternoon and back in the Cabinet. | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
The First Minister used social media to announce changes to his | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
ministerial team and there was good news for Leighton Andrews, forced to | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
resign as Education Minister over a year ago. He is now back in the fold | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
and in charge of public services. He will be pushing through counsel | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
mergers, a tough challenge for a politician who is not afraid of | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
ruffling feathers. He was talking today about consensus. People have | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
accepted there has to be reformed, there has to be reorganisation, some | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
councillors are talking actively already about a merger. We have now | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
got to seek a consensus across the whole of Wales. Through the | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
afternoon, the First Minister shared news of the reshuffle with his team | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
at his office in Cardiff. Carl Sargeant looked pleased with his new | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
job as natural resources Minister. For others, there is little or no | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
change. Jane Hutt stays as Finance Minister. Edwina Hart has been in | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
the Cabinet since the start of devolution. She also stays put. I am | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
delighted to be staying in the position, delighted that Ken is | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
continuing to be my deputy minister. It shows confidence in the | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
Department and the way we have worked. I think it does show that | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
there is little or no talent on the Labour backbenches and so he was the | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
rift of bringing any real fresh blood into this tired Cabinet. Many | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
of the Cabinet members have been there since 1999. Lesley Griffiths | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
takes responsibility for communities and tackling poverty. Also moving to | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
the backbenches are John Griffiths and former deputy minister Gwenda | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
Thomas. Julie James is the new face in the deputy ministerial team. And | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
there are beefed up roles for other deputies. You go in there nervous | :03:00. | :03:10. | |
and come out delighted. I am amazed. I really am. I think it is the best | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
team I can put in place, a very strong team, I have people who will | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
be working hard towards the election. It will serve the people | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
of Wales well. A new team for the new assembly term which starts next | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
week. But also a line-up which the First Minister believes is equipped | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
to steal Wales through crucial months ahead. | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
A Muslim student from Cardiff who called himself | :03:35. | :03:35. | |
the father of terrorism has been jailed for more than three years. | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
Khuram Iqbal admitted posting more than 800 links online to extremist | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
material, using Facebook and Twitter to spread videos and articles. | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
Thousands of workers at government buildings in Cardiff | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
had to leave their offices earlier as a controlled explosion was | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
Some roads in the Llanishen area were closed but the all clear was | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
An investigation is underway after man died in a house fire in Neath. | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
Emergency services were called to the incident on | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
Officers have not been able to identify the man | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
All this week, we have been looking at the effect of the outcome of | :04:09. | :04:16. | |
And the effect that vote will have on the economy and the way we are | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
governed was centre stage at a major conference in Cardiff today. | :04:22. | :04:35. | |
Which way for Scotland? Shadow Welsh Secretary Owen Smith became the | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
latest Welsh politician to pitch into the battle over Scotland's | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
future. We need to make sure they have heard loud and clear that the | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
view from Wales and England and Northern Ireland is we do want them | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
to stay and we do think we will all be diminished if we break apart. Mr | :04:52. | :05:00. | |
Smith and other Labour MPs trooped North. Scottish banks threatened to | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
go in the opposite direction. Royal Bank of Scotland confirmed it will | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
move its registered headquarters to London if Scotland votes for | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
independence. I noticed the markets this morning revealed they had a | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
contingency. Alex Salmond says it is a technical change that will not | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
affect customers but with other finance custom is -- companies | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
intending to the same, questions over the cost of independence are | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
under intense scrutiny. And the cost to Wales. Another question being | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
scrutinised at a conference in Cardiff today. The Welsh economy | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
will not profit either from any financial turmoil is. It is in the | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
Welsh interest to for these guys to make a nice and it is go through the | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
motions of sorting it out quite quickly. If you are wondering what | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
the fate of Wales will be in the drama of Scotland's referendum, you | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
are not alone. The great and the good of Welsh politics are trying to | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
work it out. Some of them are here at eight conference in the Wales | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
millennium Centre to ask this question, what are the implications | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
for Wales of Scotland's choice? Meet Melanie Stevenson, a 26 euros | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
student from Cardiff who would like to know what are the implications | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
for Wales. Some say that if there is a yes vote in Scotland it will be | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
good for us. You were saying in the conference about the Yes vote been | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
great for Wales but why would it be great for Wills? I think politics | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
has been dominated for in of decades now by London and the south-east and | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
Westminster. And really, it is time power was shed a little bit more | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
equally through the nations that make up the United Kingdom. If | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
Scotland votes yes, the power that is currently all hemmed in London, | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
some of it will be transferred to Edinburgh. That gives us an | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
opportunity then to have a national conversation about the kind of | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
powers that we want to hold. Scotland is top billing in the | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
debate about the UK's constitution but Wales may have a part to play if | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
there are knock-on effects for our economy or the powers that the Welsh | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
assembly has, whatever they may be. A scheme which pays farmers | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
and landowners to maintain the countryside is still flawed, | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
according to a Wales Audit Office The Glastir scheme is supposed to | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
protect landscape But today's report says | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
participation is well below the target and some of | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
its objectives cannot be measured. It is no mean feat cleaning certain | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
parts of the Millennium Stadium. Today a 2 kilometre long system | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
of ropes and rigging went into hoisting a team | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
of three onto the stadiums masts. Not a job if you do not have | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
a head for heights, with the work being carried out | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
around 90 metres off the ground. Cricket and Glamorgan wrapped up a | :07:38. | :07:46. | |
victory over Derbyshire with a day to spare. After setting the visitors | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
20 -- 261, Glamorgan ripped through their opponents and bowled them out | :07:54. | :07:54. | |
for 154. This settled September weather | :07:55. | :08:09. | |
continues. We had a fair amount of cloud around today and similar | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
tomorrow. The satellite picture really tells the story. After a | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
bright start, we can see how that thicker cloud moved into the | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
south-east. West was best for sunshine. Tonight, some clear spells | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
but cloudier than last night. The crowd holding up the temperatures. | :08:28. | :08:39. | |
Some early mist and fog, a grey start tomorrow but that will lift. | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
Cloud will thin and break and similar right across the UK. A bit | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
slow to clear in places but generally turning drier and brighter | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
through the day and warmer. 19 Celsius for Glasgow and Belfast. And | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
a brighter end to the day across Wales. Some cloud, not quite as | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
sunny as it has been. Temperatures above average. Saturday, the best of | :09:04. | :09:15. | |
the sunshine again. Temperatures in the low 20s. High pressure begins to | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
drift to the north east, towards Scandinavia. We are slowly losing a | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
grip on the fine weather and this area of low pressure in the Azores | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
will slowly make inroads later next week. Maybe a bit cloudier and | :09:29. | :09:36. | |
breezy than it has been but it looks like midweek next week we will start | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
to see things breaking down with things turning more and settled with | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
a return of some rain. You can keep up-to-date on the website. | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
That is all for now. We are back in breakfast from 6am. But from me, | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
good night. | :09:57. | :10:01. |
